Definitely an ideal place to stay if you don’t have a car. Super close to Powell BART, you can walk there with your luggage. Short walk to Chinatown. Hotel was very clean and I always wipe down my room. There is a doorman/security for added safety. The pool is being remodeled. The staff always greeted me during my stay. I only stayed in the room to sleep and shower. I would stay here again.

I do think it's time to upgrade the furniture in the rooms. They were pretty wore down. But the staff was great and i'd defintely come back."

The rooms are peculiarly engineered, so make sure that you know what you are about to spend the night in. I think the room that I rented for two nights is made for single travelers or a close couple because I was in a sky cabin and the first thing that I notice when I walk into the room was just a stand-alone toilet. No doors or walls separating the toilet from the main cabin area, so make sure you are ultra comfortable with your cabin-mate in very close quarters. Then you climb a steep spiral ladder/staircase to the loft sleeping cubby, with a once-smart tv at the foot of the bed. If you are claustrophobic, I would look for a different floor plan but if you don’t mind, it’s a fun and futuristic theme. Everything about the hotel is great in that it’s very quick and easy check-in, resembling checking in at the airport or at a tech conference or something. The cabins are designed to resemble air travel cabins and are designed to feature minimalist and space-saving utility. If you’ve ever seen that show “tiny house hunters” and how everything is engineered to make the most out of tiny spaces, then you get the idea of what the cabins are like on the inside. The water and ice machine on each floor has the best crunchy ice you’ve ever had at a hotel. Check out 2nd floor Mission Cntrl!"

The front desk staff greet you with a smile and check in is always so easy. We love the convenience of the espresso machine in the lobby, and Adam is always such a hospitable bartender in the restaurant. The location is key where the ferry building is an easy walk and Northbeach is at your fingertips for great food and fun. Union Square is close too."
